Warning: Story contains coarse language
Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor were back at it for the second time in as many days Wednesday, meeting up for a press conference on the sophomore leg of their world tour in Toronto.
Here's a quick rundown of the best quotes from the latest superfight primer:
McGregor
"Does this mic work? ... Well then fuck that mic!"

- Leading the Toronto crowd in a chant against the Mayweathers
"And while we're at it, fuck Showtime, too. You little weasel. Look at you, you little fucking weasel. I can see it in your eyes. You're a fucking bitch. Cut my mic off? Cut the champ champ's mic off? Hell no. You fucking weasel."
- Directed at Showtime exec Stephen Espinoza
"Twenty-eight years of age. I'm getting fight checks and promoter checks. When Floyd was 28, he was on Oscar De La Hoya's undercard."
- On he and Mayweather's age difference
"I'm not getting off this mic. I want him to come and take this mic off me. Otherwise I'm taking over this whole shit."

- On Mayweather's reputation as a defensive boxer
"Shoutout, Drizzy Drake. Started from the bottom, now I'm here."
- To Toronto star Drake, who was in attendance
"How do I look? What the fuck is he wearing? He looks like a little break dancer or something. What the fuck? You're 40 years of age. Dress your fucking age. Carrying a school bag on stage. What are you doing with a school bag on stage? You can't even read."
- Poking fun at Floyd's casual attire
Mayweather
"One thing we do know: The fucking fans can't fight for you."
- Response to overwhelming fan support for McGregor
"We not talking about being at the top for one year, two years, three years, four years. Motherfucker, 21 years."
- On his legacy
"I do numbers. I make money. You know my middle name, bitch."
- "Money" Mayweather
"If you believe in yourself like you say you believe in yourself, bet your whole fight check, you bitch."
- Challenging McGregor to bet his fight purse on the outcome
"And y'all got the fucking nerves to believe in a fucking fighter that like to fucking quit? He's a fucking quitter."

"Oh, and I love what I got on. I'm wearing that Toronto flag. I look good in that Toronto gear."
